Knees are the centre of your legs, both
literally and in their importance. This central part of the leg is responsible
for levying balance in locomotion of the humans. In case of knee injuries, knee
issues such as dislocated knee, runner’s knee, bursitis, etc and knee surgery, knee support is needed to provide
stability and strength to this core body part in order to heal and recover from
damage safely.
There are occasions you should consider
getting knee support if,
·
You have a dislocated knee.
Knee dislocation requires support from both sides of the knee in order to bring
the patella (knee cap) back into place. In order to prevent the problem from
aggravating and to provide necessary support to the dislocated knee, knee support in the form of knee
sleeves and knee straps can greatly help in the issue.
·
You have had a knee-replacement
surgery. Knee-replacement surgery requires careful movement post-surgery,
especially as the damaged parts of the knee have been replaced with metal
tibial and femur parts, requiring caution and support in movement.
·
You suffer from patella issues
such as patellar tendonitis or patella tracking issues. These issues require
you to rest the overused muscles. It helps in relieving the pressure off of the muscles and bones in the
knee joint, helping alleviate the problem and aiding in healing.
·
You suffer from instability due
to ligament issues. People with weak knees or torn ligaments can greatly
benefit from support as that helps put less pressure on the knee cap,
relieving stress on the affected ligaments and muscles.
How do they provide help?
Compression
They provides compression,
enclosing the knee ligaments and muscles in a supporting cushioned design which
provides heat and strength to a damaged or injured knee.
Improved Proprioception
Knee support, particularly knee sleeves,
set the knee in place firmly. This is especially helpful for patients suffering
from arthritis and related issues as the firm grip on the knee joint helps
improve their sense of proprioception.
Knee Braces
Knee braces are mostly used by patients
recovering from knee surgery or knee dislocation. The fully equipped design of
a knee brace acts as a full support system, helping patients stand on their
feet.
Knee straps
Knee straps help in many knee-related issues,
particularly patella problems. These can be easily worn to put patella back in
place in case of dislocation and to help relieve pressure from the knee cap in
case of patellar tendonitis.
The support is designed to greatly benefit the wearer
thanks to the customized designs available. According to the problem you are
facing, you can choose from a variety of different support designs
available that will help alleviate pain, assist in gaining strength and relieve
stress from the ligaments and muscles in order to sustain bone health.
